Pearland PD stop with expired DL

Last week I was on the way to the PSC range with my buddy and the truck was stocked with our pistols and ARs. As I'm driving I pass by a parked Pearland Cop and he instantly pulls out. You know that feeling when you know you're getting pulled over?? Well sure enough the lights go off!

It used to make me extremely nervous. Now I don't really care. Just be polite and I won't get a ticket. I've been pulled over multiple times in the past two years and have never gotten a ticket. But this day I'm in trouble. See my inspection sticker has expired by 5 months and my license expired by a week. My buddy can't stop laughing, you're getting a big ticket. I bet him $50 I get off.

The officer comes to the car and asks if I know why I was pulled over? I hand him my CHL and DL and say no idea sir. He asks where my weapon is and I tell him in the backseat, we're going to the range. He states that my inspection sticker is very expired. I tell him I'm sorry but my DL is as well. He actually laughed and said why did I let them expire? "honestly sir I just haven't gotten around to it". Is there something wrong with the vehicle? No sir, it's a 2011. Ok I'll be right back.

My buddy is all over me, telling me he'll get me from jail on this beautiful Sunday. After a long two minutes, the office came back with my CHL and DL and told me to get that inspection done and to have a great day!

My streak continues! Thanks to Pearland PD for being a great guy!

Kodiak101 ,

"I've been pulled over 'multiple times' in the past two years and have never gotten a ticket."

So, why are you pulled so often?

Speeding?

Is the truck a low rider?

Change lanes unnecessarily a lot?

I find it interesting that you're pulled over often and I've been pulled over once in a lifetime of driving. Not bragging about what a goody-goody driver I am (I'm not) but, being pulled over multiple times says something interesting.

What say you?

Thinking the same thing. I drive pretty aggressively and have been pulled over here once in the last decade (because I was stopped at the light next to a police car and had an expired inspection).

Hmm, if I'd been the cop, I would have given you the ticket due to 2 things being expired. :evil2:

Hope you used that $50 towards being legal. ;-)

That $100 you had attached to the CHL probably helped :biggrinjester:

Sorry he should have hooked you up. Having expired tags and License is a great excuse for your insurance to cancel on you if you have an accident. :banghead: :banghead: Where I stand being 5 months over is without excuse unless you have been deployed .

Sounds like a ticket might have been the best idea to maybe emphasize the importance of getting a round tuit more often.
